The Samsung i8510, Samsung Engineering with Nokia Software

October 28, 2008 · Filed Under Mobile Phone News, Mobile Phone Reviews · Comment 

You may think you have read the headline incorrectly, but your eyes are not deceiving you.

Samsung have unveiled the i8510, a mobile phone built using Samsung technology but incorporating Nokia software. And, if you are looking to replace your Nokia N95 and are considering the N96 you may need to think again…

This is of course not the first time Samsung have used Nokia software, but this handset is by far the most impressive.

The i8510 will be available with 8 or 16GB of storage and further memory can be added.

Features include:

Nokia S60 interface means the phone is easy to use and navigate

Quick Office, allowing access to Word, Excel and PowerPoint files.

You can also view pdf files and access zip files.

To watch videos Samsung has added the latest version of RealPlayer including DivX files. Thanks to the 16-million colour display this phone is perfect for movies.

The video camera will record at 640×480 pixels (VGA) and can record in two slow motion modes (like the LG Viewty).

The camera is the jewel in the crown of this handset, with and 8MP sensor. The i8510 really does work well in all light and weather conditions and produces sharp photos that are comparable to a standalone digital camera.

Samsung has outdone Nokia in terms of the camera interface, with more features than the N96, like face, smile and blink detection, easy access shortcuts via the keypad and GPS geotagging. The picture viewer is also more superior than the N96.

So, is this the perfect mobile? Well, not quite. On the downside the i8510 has quite limited signal. If you are on the move this could be frustrating and this is something to bear in mind.

This is the only shortfall in what is actually a 5 star mobile phone, which will surely be raising concerns at Nokia!

Ignore the i8510 at your peril!
